Completely Stomped. Halp?

[InfernalCookie]

So I'm completely stomped here. I realized that I'm doing this completely wrong but I have no idea how to fix it. Basically, what I want to happen:

( To lessen confusion, Player X is a VIP Client. )

1) Player X sets a certain Color he wants his name on the scoreboard to be...
2) His name shows up as that color for everyone

What really happens:
1) Player X sets a certain Color he wants his name on the scoreboard to be...
2) For every other VIP Client that has this feature enabled, that his name is the color of what Player X set for HIS name to be...

I have no idea how to fix this, can anyone help? Here's the full code:

A picture would help me :/

GetInfoNum is serverside. You'll need to network the values to all the other clients.

[InfernalCookie]

So you're saying every client needs the colors of every other client? I'll see if that works..

[QUOTE=InfernalCookie;36088948]So you're saying every client needs the colors of every other client? I'll see if that works..[/QUOTE]

How else would the client know what color the other players should be on the scoreboard....telepathy?

[InfernalCookie]

Well when I first looked at the GetInfoNum page, it said it was a shared thing. But I checked again and it was server only.
